Generations before this story starts, migration and travel shaped the author's family history. He is a Boomer, the first generation with brain-patterns shaped by consumer electronics. A California Kid from the legendary 1960s; his only car is an iconic Chevy Nova hot rod. He plans a road trip in this antique with the latest online and satellite technology. For joys of the driving itself and the people met along the way, his road trip through the winding country lanes and empty spaces of California, Oregon and Nevada fulfils every dream. Today's realities of environment and population put the adventure into a new context, as an unplanned detour brings him to a stark revelation.
